 | Rick Somewhere in Canada 2012-12-23 18:10:09 Auction/eBay Scam eBay (www.ebay.com) |  Auctiva balance due scam email Scammer Information Asking for money for listing items on Ebay. Since I have never listed an item on ebay, ever, seems unlikely that I owe $128.61 for that purpose. I don't have an Auctiva account. Not too concerned about the associated threat as I don't plan on listing on ebay. If I was a regular lister on ebay, I might have fallen for this one. Third party scam? I think so - the CLICK HERE takes you to //annwcraven1.com/www.auctiva.com/signin.php. It doesn't take you to Auctiva.com.
